Boil it all down, and the truth is that they don't what to predict.

Of course, nobody has a crystal ball to predict the weather. And in this case, the National Weather Service is saying that the precipitation amount has an equal chance to be normal, below normal or above normal. In other words, they just don’t know.

What the Weather Service is positive about is that temperatures are going to be higher than normal. 

Monsoon season runs from June 15th to September 30th. Next week is Monsoon Awareness Week - and of course, we’d love to have some monsoon weather to celebrate!

For this week, expect gusty winds and higher temperatures throughout much of Arizona. That means the chances are high for wildfires to start.
